Hi @tlswann,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

I hear Print from an Ethernet-Connected Computer to an HP Wi‑Fi Printer.
 

Yes, this can work as long as both devices are on the same network/subnet.

What to do:

Connect the printer to Wi‑Fi:
 

• On the printer front panel, open the dashboard.
   
• Tap the Wi‑Fi icon.
   
• Go to Wireless Settings.
   
• Run Wireless Setup Wizard or Wi‑Fi Protected Setup.
   
• Follow the on-screen steps to complete setup.
   
• Make sure no Ethernet cable is connected to the printer, because connecting Ethernet disables wireless on supported models.

Make sure the computer and printer are on the same network:
 

• Your computer can stay connected via Ethernet.
   
• The printer can stay connected via Wi‑Fi.
   
• They must be on the same network/subnet for discovery and printing.

Install/add the printer on the computer:
 

• Download HP software/driver from 123.hp.com or your printer series software page.
   
• During setup, make sure the computer and printer are on the same network.

If the printer is not found automatically:
 

• Print the Network Configuration Page from the printer front panel:
  
  
  • Internal Prints > User Information Prints > Network Configuration Page
     
• Use that page to verify the printer network status and manually add the printer if needed.
   
• On Windows, make sure the printer driver port matches the printer’s current network settings.

If printing still fails:
 

• Check that the printer is not shown as Offline or Paused in the computer’s printer list.
   
• Try accessing the printer’s Embedded Web Server from a browser to confirm both devices can communicate on the network.
   
• If needed, temporarily check whether firewall/security software is blocking printer communication.
   
• If the Wi‑Fi connection is unstable, run Print Wireless Network Test from the printer front panel.

I hope this will help.

 

Take care and have a good day.
